Happy Friday The 13th.....

Hello from the Hovel on Friday the 13th. Do you see it as a lucky day or as many do a day for bad luck?....I'll be honest I didn't realise it was Friday the 13th until late afternoon when I went to write up some notes. Has it been a day of bad luck for me? Stressful at times, yes, busy, yes, but unlucky, I don't think so. But then again there has been so much going on of late I probably wouldn't notice..lol....

Like with many day to day things people have a genuine fear of Friday the 13th. And like many medical terms, the words are long and difficult to say, well for me anyway (says she a former nurse..lol..)....See if you agree....

· Friggatriskaidekaphobia: the fear of Friday the 13th because Frigga is the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named...
· Triskaidekaphobia: meaning fear of the number thirteen...
· Paraskevidekatriaphobia: made up of the Greek words: Paraskeví, meaning "Friday" and dekatreís, meaning "thirteen" attached to phobía, meaning "fear''...

How did you do? For those who do have this phobia or any other I do feel for them....Regardless, I wish you luck today and every day.

Until next time, take care....Hugs Chrissy xx

Friday the 13th, Unlucky for Some.........

Hello from the Hovel on Friday the 13th.....has it been unlucky for you? Unfortunately for one of my builders Steve it has. Poor fella wasn’t able to work today due to being really poorly. I hope it wasn’t anything to do with my renovations!!!! Steve has worked really hard with plastering, sanding, etc, the hall, stairs and landing. Plus he’s had to put up with me...hehe...

~~~~~~~

Plus he was a star on Wednesday. Due to my back and hip (which went again due to my stupidity of ‘I feel better let’s get some work done’ mode!) I was concerned about my dogs needing a bath, etc. Steve only went and showered them (and himself...hehe...) in our wet room. As you can imagine it was like a comedy show. Firstly, neither dog wanted to go in there, they weren’t stupid!!! Then Charlotte and I had to hold the door shut and block the bottom of the door with towels. At the word ‘He’s done’ we quickly scrambled out of the utility room followed very quickly by one wet dog who proceeded to shake himself for England! Merlin having been the first victim was soon followed by his brother Arthur who had sussed out what was going on....action replay....lol.... Not content with this Steve helped me flea-spot the cats. Not only is he great with animals Steve is a brilliant plasterer. Thanks Steve I hope you’re feeling better soon.........

Well I’m off to let the boys out, who are so clean and fluffy now after their shower. I have put a little about Friday the 13th on my other blog ‘Away with the Faerys’. Why don’t you nip over and let me know what you think. I have sorely neglected that blog but hope to add more when my health has improved. Have a great Valentine’s Day....Until next time....lol.....
